Bored with the Bard. Now, give me something new!  
Preferably with witty metaphors.  
Romance imbued intrigue -- its lusty dew  
should sweeten the resolving of old scores.  
Pose existential questions with panache;  
the reader must find answers on their own.  
Revive old monarchs, though they are awash  
in blood they've spilled while questing for the throne.  
That's all I ask, is that a bit too hard?  
Can you not, in a modern repertoire,  
discover a companion to the Bard,  
find someone that at least is on a par?  
I'm sure you can, in two shakes of a spear.  
Please do, and let me know, I'll stay right here.
